My thoughts on The Internet of Everything Technology, Travel Tech, Voice Over IP, Internet Based Communications and Video.

As many of you know who have been long time readers, I have been very concerned about Port Blocking, first from the streaming media content distribution sector, but knowing how the implications could impact VoIP.

If Mr. Blog is correct, and I have no reason to doubt him, it appears BT in their wisdom has made themselves a royal pain in the butt of people hoping to use VoIP by blocking port 5060.

It's a bit of a surprise as I was in the UK recently and had no problem using either the Linksys adapter from Vonage or their SoftPhone or AT&T's CallVantage.

Pehaps AT&T was right when they chose to use a different port for CallVantage which doesn't use 5060 for traffic.
